Real Time Programs on ETC ION Question.

[Dan MacLerran]

Our Auditorium has recently upgraded from the ETC Express 72/144 to the ETC ION. While using the Express 72/144 we constantly used the "Real Time Program" Option to turn lights on and off for band, orchestra etc. rehearsals.

Is there a comparable command for the ION? Where we can program in the time all lights need to come on and go off for the rehearsal.

Thanks,

Dan MacLerran

Real time clock events are handled by the show control feature. The manual is here.

The basics are (specific commands assume v2.2):

1. Open up a show control tab -- Right click on the + tab and select "Show Ctrl"
2. Create a new event list -- 1/ {Type} {RTC} [Enter]
3. Enable RTC -- {Internal} [Enter]
4. Add events as desired -- 1 [Time] [1] [3] [0 [0] {Days} {Mon} {Wed} {Fri} [Enter]

Once you have the event list (step 2) you don't need to create an more lists, but you can if it helps to stay organized.

Yes. Real Time Clock events are part of Show Control. It is in the manual.
